China Successfully Launches Flat-Panel Satellite and New Spy Satellites

China has successfully conducted two orbital missions, launching a flat-panel communications satellite developed by GalaxySpace and a batch of spy satellites. The Lingxi-03 satellite by GalaxySpace carries a multi-beam digital payload and will support the deployment of China's low Earth orbit communications megaconstellation. The Yaogan-36 mission likely includes signal-intelligence satellites, joining the existing Yaogan-35 satellites in similar orbits. These launches mark the 149th and 150th consecutive successful Long March launches for China, with a total of 480 Long March rockets launched to date.
